Available Results
NB: the tournament was played in knock-out format; as the ties were arranged on a regional basis,
the below division into rounds does not necessarily correspond to the chronological order in
which the matches were played. Results are available for 1959 only; by December of that year,
two clubs (K-33 and Malamuk) had qualified for the semifinals while four others (NÛK vs GSS
and T-41 vs Nanoĸ) were still to play their quarterfinal ties.

NB: in a report on the first evening match north of the polar circle in Greenland (on 11 Dec 1967)
in K'utdligssat, which appeared on 15 Feb 1968, Nanoĸ were explicitly mentioned as the 1960
champions. This is confirmed by an interview with Anda Nielsen which appeared in the edition
of Atuagagdliutit of 23 Feb 1961. So Nanoĸ certainly won this tournament.
Moreover, in 1966 (at the start of the 1966/67 edition) it was reported that K-33 and Nanoĸ
had met each other in the final twice (Nanoĸ winning in 1958 and K-33 in 1964). However,
as the 1958 title is credited to GSS in multiple other sources (including articles on the
occasions of their wins in 1972 and 1973), it appears likely that the first final referred to
actually was that of the 1959/60 tournament. In that case, Nanoĸ must have beaten T-41 in
the quarterfinal and Malamuk in the semifinal, whereas K-33 won their semifinal against the
quarterfinal winners in Nûk (either GSS or NÛK).
Therefore one may infer the following sequel to the tournament (unfortunately no reports are to
be found in the Atuagagdliutit newspaper in 1960):
Quarterfinals [partially inferred]
Siuteroĸ 0-14 K-33
NÛK - GSS
T-41 lt Nanoĸ
Malamuk bt K'ingmeĸ ["e.l." = efter lodtrækningen, after drawing lots]
Semifinals [inferred]
K-33 bt NÛK/GSS
Nanoĸ bt Malamuk
